Treble Cone Snow Update [27/7/14]

Treble Cone has enjoyed
a great run of cold temps for snowmaking combined with blue
sky days for enjoying skiing and snowboarding over the last
fortnight.

The Saddle Basin, Home Basin, and Summit
Slopes, plus the free beginner Platter are all currently
open daily, plus the Jazz Rail Park in the Saddle Basin and
the Jazz Kids Fun Trail on the Platter are open.

The
skiing on trail has been very good, with signature trails
Main Street and Easy Rider in the Home Basin, plus Raffills
Run and South Ridge in the Saddle Basin all open and
groomed. Off-piste for advanced riders the snow cover on the
Summit and upper Saddle Basin is lots of fun with a 130cm
deep snow cover at the top of the Saddle Basin.

Popular
local kids programme Riders and Sliders kicked off today,
and additionally Treble Cone has launched a new Masters
Freeride programme coached by eight times NZ Big Mountain
champion, past winner of the North American Freeski
Championships, and the first man to ski the West Face of Mt
Aspiring Geoff Small.
